ARP(8N)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 ARP(8N)



NAME
     arp - address resolution display and control

SYNOPSIS
     arp hostname
     arp -a [ vmunix ] [ kmem ]
     arp -d hostname
     arp -s hostname IEEE802.3_addr [ temp ] [ pub ]
     arp -f filename

DESCRIPTION
     The arp program displays and modifies the Internet-to-IEEE
     802.3 (Ethernet) address translation tables used by the
     address resolution protocol ( arp(4n)).

     With no flags, the program displays the current ARP entry
     for hostname. Hostname can be specified as either the name(
     hostname(1n)) selected for the workstation or as the
     internet address( inet(4n)).

OPTIONS
     -a   The program displays all of the current ARP entries by
          reading the table from the file kmem (default
          /dev/kmem) based on the kernel file vmunix (default
          /vmunix).

     -d   A super-user may delete an entry for the host called
          hostname.

     -s   Create an ARP entry for the host called hostname with
          the IEEE802.3 address IEEE802.3_addr An Example would
          be:

          arp -s hosty 8:0:11:0:6:11 [ temp ][ pub ]

           In this example hostname is hosty and the
          IEEE802.3_addr is 8:0:11:0:6:11. The IEEE802.3 address
          components are hexadecimal and must be seperated by
          colons.
           If temp had been specifed the entry would be temporary
          and would be flushed after 20 minutes. Also if pub had
          been specified the entry will be "published", e.g.,
          this system will respond to ARP requests for hostname
          even though the hostname is not its own.

     -f   Causes the file filename to be read and multiple
          entries to be set in the ARP tables.  Entries in the
          file should be of the form

          hostname IEEE802.3_addr [ temp ] [ pub ]

          with argument meanings as given above.
